Roses 'round an old fence

Taken behind the Ottawa airport. There must have been an old homestead here once, because in addition to these roses, growing with them are lilacs, pea-shrubs, and other domestic flowers. Now there are tall trees and grass and other herbaceous growth.

It's always neat to come across sights like this. It goes to show how nature will endure long after we are gone.

Roses are tougher than given credit for, especially old heritage, teas & chinas. Nice find.
